CHAPTER 9 GIVING UP AND SELF IMPROVEMENT
“Hey! Jackson! What’s wrong with you?!” When Lin Rui and Tom arrived at school, Peter found something wrong with him and asked curiously.
“Er… Nothing. Lin Rui sat down in his seat and took off his mask. There was no need to hide it too much when he came to school.
“Ha! Are you going to be a vigilante at night? Being beaten like this!” When he saw the black bruises on Lin Rui’s face, Peter immediately became interested.
“Yeah! I am a good student at school during the day and I become a street hero at night!” Lin Rui replied earnestly to Peter’s words.
“Uh huh! I don’t know if you’re going to be a hero in the evening, but you’re not really a good student in the daytime. Have you forgotten that you almost slept through the whole day yesterday? Behind Peter, Harry asked with a laugh.
“That’s because I was tired!” Lin Rui explained helplessly, G.o.d knows what he said is true.
“Well, our Vigilante, don’t fall asleep in cla.s.s today. Yesterday, Mr. Simon was very upset with you.” Harry gave a kind reminder.
“Yes, I know.”
After a brief chat, everyone sat in the cla.s.sroom and waited for the cla.s.s to start, while Tom sat next to Lin Rui as before. Today, Tom seems to have some things on his mind and he was a little absent-minded during the cla.s.s.
Lin Rui, who is physically and observationally superior, apparently found Tom’s little gesture. After a few minutes, he finally couldn’t help it. He wrote a note and handed it to Tom: Are you all right?
Tom was surprised to receive the note at first, but then he wrote it quickly. After that, Tom handed it to Lin Rui while the teacher was not paying attention.
“After you ran back from school yesterday, Gwen came over. I think Peter and Harry are interested in her.”
After seeing what Tom had written, Lin Rui raised his eyebrows, but he was not surprised. In his memory, both Peter and Harry seem to like Gwen.
“But I can’t get involved in the situation now. It’s their business.” Shaking his head, Lin Rui thought in silence.
Hoo!
Just as Lin Rui was thinking, Tom saw him hesitate to respond and handed over a note: I thought you liked Gwen?
This time Lin Rui wrote his reply very quickly: Gwen and I are just friends. If Peter and Harry liked her, I would not interfere!
After Lin Rui answered, Tom finally quieted down. Although he is now friends with Peter and Harry, if they really like Gwen, then, of course, Tom is going to help Lin Rui.
“Ah! But as things go, it seems that Gwen will choose Peter in the end. Who made him a Spiderman and became confident and capable? Harry has some advantages now, but it’s nothing compared to Spiderman. After Tom’s reminder, Lin Rui can’t help thinking about the end of this triangle love.
“Who said that it is destined to be like this?” Just as Lin Rui felt a little sorry for Harry, the sound of the system appeared without warning.
“Eh? Will this change? Don’t say you’re going to give me any weird Quest, like what’s ruining Peter’s relations.h.i.+p with Gwen.” Lin Rui asked angrily at the sound of the system.
“There’s no need. You’ve accepted a Quest, haven’t you? Did you forget it so soon? The system faintly reminded him.
“What Quest? Didn’t I just finish that Quest for Vigilante? Asked a stunned Lin Rui.
“That Quest worth 50,000 Reward points, you forgot so soon? Or do you think you can ignore my Quest now that you have the mainline quests? The system is patient and continued reminding.
“That Quest?! I have chosen the path of a Superhero. Why is that quest that destroyed Peter and Harry’s relations.h.i.+p still exist? When he heard the system’s reminder, Lin Rui didn’t understand it.
Wasn’t it a villain’s job to destroy the relations.h.i.+p between two good friends? How can a Superhero do such a thing? Lin Rui rightly thought that since he chose to be a Superhero, that Quest disappeared.
